JEFF DAVIS AND FAMILY.
How the Father, Mother and Daughter
Appear at Homo.


Cor. Cleveland Leader.
This train of thought was broken SIS the
top step was reached and the writer found
himself standing in the doorway of the
Davis residence confronted by Young
lady who had been closely perusing the
pages of book. She aros", and with a
strikingly pleasant countena nee and must
cal voice gave the usual gree ting. While
not beautiful she posse, sed q de-
cidedly intellectual count. nance. Tall.
well formed, fair comple xioned, dark
hair and black eyes, with p Well-rounded
face OF the Grecian type of beauty, every
word and action showed her to be q
young woman of culture al it refinement.
This parsonage was later troduced to
me as Miss Winnie Davis. I was ushered
into the drawing room to aN ait the arrival
of Mr.. Davis.
While busily engaged in viewing the
surroundings a very robust old lady en-
tered the room and introdu ed herself as
MRS. DAVIS.
Her hair was gray, but her WelI-rounded.
full face and most pleasing countenance
showed no wrinkles. After conversing
most pleasantly for about ten minutes
the man l had come to see, Jefferson
Davis, entered the room. His appearance
was that of an old man, bowed down with
age and quite feeble. His hair and
beard, which was quite short, were very
white-but this is not at ali surprising,
for he is now about eighty years of age.
He is slightly deaf, but not enough to
cause any material INCONVENIENCE. During
the conversation which followed both Mr..
and Mrs. Davis expressed their gratiica-
ton of the advancement of the south and
the recent development of its mineral re-
sources. The ringing of the dinner bell
ended the conversation rather abruptly, |
and after being Introduced to Miss Win
ME l was ushered into the dining room.
With small table at her right side Mrs. |
Davis did most of the serving, being occa-
casionslly assisted by servant girl who
stood by. The simplicity of the surround
ings and the easy manners of all made
things feel decidedly pleasant.

end ran upstairs. Ia few moments she
came down dressed in complete mourn
ing and her face hidden by heavy Grape
veil. She had her trunk put in cab and
drove rapidly away. She has not been
seen since.
Mr.. Williams took possession of a port
manteau, few suits Of clothes ard other
articles belonging to the dead man, but
ne saw nothing of the diamonds. Mrs.
Morrison knows nothing of them either.
save that on Mr.. Smiths fingers she saw
two gem rings of considerable value.

and Inspector Byrnes' detectives are
zealcusly following up a clew which may
lead to her discovery.

HIS SIN REVEALED.
Bogus widow Smith Gets Away With
the J6welry-A Texas Merchant
Dies Suddenly in New York.
Living with Woman Who Was Not His
Rife-The Original Mrs. Smith
Makes Some Inquiries,
New York S Ear, ApriI 6.


Mrs. William E. Smith of Paris, Tex.
wrote to Mayor Hewitt few days ago,
stating that her husband, d prom inent
citizen of Paris, who had been at different
times sheriff and postmaster of the city,
and also United States marshal, died
on February q last, at 1913 East Thirty
fourth street, this city, while on a visit
of few weeks, and that many valuables
OF which he was possessed had fallen into
improper hands. Among them she men
toned q number of diamonds worth from
$4,000 to $4,000.
Mrs. Smith said she had received no
communication from the persons in whose
house her husband died, and had no
knowledge of what disposition was made
of the body.
Examination of the public records re-
vealed the fact that William E. Smith
died on February 81 at the boarding
house, No. 163, East Thirty-fourth street,
kept by Mrs. Samuel R. Morrison, and
that he was buried the following day in
Calvary cemetery by Daniel J. Sheridan,
an undertaken OF No. 425 Third avenue.
Mrs. Morrison said thai Mr. Smith, a
portly, middle-aged gentleman of fine
presence, came there January I3 with
lady whom he introduced as his wife end
hired the best room in the house. The
lady was young and fair and had beauti-
full eyes and hair. They lived an easy
life and were seemingly very happy and
contented until three weeks later, when
Mr.. Smith was seized with an attack of
pneumonia and was kept in bed, a very
sick man.
DR.. Burke Of No. 189 Lexington avenue
attended him, and the lady nursed him
affectionately. In spite OF their combined
efforts, however, the poor gentleman
suCCumbed to the disease. The pseudo
Mrs. Smith put on the deepest mourning,
and was dissolved in tears for several
days. She took her loss so much to
heart that even her fellow boarders
wept for sympathy and followed the
hearse to Calvary. The undertaker's bill.
which amounted to $104, was paid
promptly, and the widow moved to q !
smaller room on the third floor. She
frequently spoke of her dead husbands
virtues and of her blighted young life.
When few weeks had passed Mrs. |
Morrison received visit from Mr.. J. S. |
Williams, traveller for Banner Bros, |
clothlers, OF No. 365 Brosdwav, who .
claimed to be friend of Mr.. Smith. He
brought letter signed by Mrs. Mary E.
Smith OF Paris, Tex, authorizing him, as
friend OF the family, to take charge of
all the dead mans fleets.
Mr.: Williams was quite unprepared to
una the so-called widow in possession OF
the held. He recognized her as Miss
-, Paris young lady of good
family, who had be en- on friendly terms
with the Smiths for several years and Wis
tea at their house the greater part of
asst summer.
The fair young lady blushed vivid red
